>> Hi everyone,****
>>
>> ** **
>>
>> I am please to nominate for the open Council seats two outstanding civil
>> society scholar/activists, Joy Liddicoat and Wolfgang Kleinwachter.****
>>
>> ** **
>>
>> Joy is the Project Co-ordinator for Internet Rights are Human Rights for
>> the Association for Progressive Communication, a NCUC organizational member.
>>  Joy is lawyer who's been a long-time activist on human rights on the
>> Internet and beyond, and she's also involved in DNS issues and well attuned
>> to the ICANNsphere.  At present she also serves Director of the Domain Name
>> Commission, InternetNZ, the non-profit multistakeholder body responsible for
>> managing .nz and related Internet issues in New Zealand, so she brings to
>> the table an understanding of public interest aspects of the ccTLD space as
>> well.  A strong human rights orientation has generally been lacking in ICANN
>> and the GNSO, so she'd be filling an important gap.  At the same time, it
>> would be good to further engage in NCSG the APC, which as probably everyone
>> knows is the probably the largest NGO, a multinational network, doing civil
>> society activism around Internet and ICT issues.  More about Joy here
>> http://nz.linkedin.com/pub/joy-liddicoat/11/233/745 and APC here
>> http://www.apc.org.****

>> Wolfgang is probably known to most members, as he's an individual NCUC
>> member who's attended I believe all but one or two ICANN meetings since its
>> founding and has served most recently as the chair of Nomcom.  He's a
>> leading scholar on global Internet governance and ICANN who's been very
>> involved with not only ICANN but the civil society coalitions involved in
>> the WSIS and IGF.  He is a professor at the University of Aarhus, the
>> organizer of the annual ICANN Studienkreis conference, the organizer of the
>> European Summer School on Internet Governance, a founder along with Milton
>> myself and others of the Global Internet Governance Academic Networks, and
>> so on.  Like Joy, he has the background and disposition to be a great
>> Councilor for the NCSG.  More about Wolfgang here
